Yeah had an incident where this twat jumped out in front of my car, he is trying to claim all he can from me and i have been bailed for dangerous driving. Ive been on bail since 15th Jan 08 when it happened.

I was with the GF and her dog when he jumped out in the road, i have been having probs with this lad for ages. He smashed up 2 of my cars but had to pay for them as he got convicted at court so i guess this is his way of getting his own back for the consequences of his own actions!

First they charged me with GBH with intent and no insurance. Then got both of the dropped as i was insured and then re-arrested for dangerous driving.

Solicitor says it will either be dangerous driving, or driving without due care and attention as at the end of the day my car collided with him. Even though he jumped out from behing a parked car and i couldnt do nothing. (i was only going 15mph as it was actually on a speed island where it happened and the car was lowered 80mm and had a low hanging 4-2-1 mani so had to take it slow!

Im prepared for the worst.

You might be sent onto a driving improvement course if you are lucky then. I managed to outrun an unmarked volvo in my 1.4 (obviously not knowing), and got caught stuck behind a tractor. Ended up getting a choice of getting points or paying to go onto a course because of "dangerous driving".

After some more careful sanding:







Quite happy with the results from that, think i will leave it as it is rather than shining it all smooth...

Looking good mate

On the second pik where it looks like you sprayed the letters, how did you get it black again inbetween the letters etc as it looks like a top quality job

Right when i got it from the powder-coaters, it had high temp metal masking tape over the letters. It was all cut nicely apart from the covered the triangle in the middle of the A's.

I peeled that all off, left a sticky gunk, sanded and sanded as the pics show.

Wiped down, i got a permanent marker pen and coloured it in lol
